Ira was a sweet and kind man who was a childhood friend of my brother Bob’s. The Steur’s lived a short distance from us in Jeffrey Manor, on Chicago’s South Side. His sister Gloria used to baby sit me.

He was truly a gentle and kind man
We lived a block away from each other and I was always delighted to talk with him. He will be so missed. I'm so sorry Tracy for your loss.

A great friend to all, I am profoundly saddened by his loss. We met in Chicago many years ago and have dined, laughed and ridden together regularly throughout the years. Rest in peace my dearest friend, you will never be forgotten.

I rode with the Shadow Riders for a few years, and always loved seeing Ira’s smiling face. He was truly one of the kindest, gentlest souls I’ve ever known. May his memory be a blessing.
